Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/perf: Fix branch event code for power9

Correct "branch" event code of Power9 is "r4d05e".
Replace the current "branch" event code with "r4d05e"
and add a hack to use "r10012" as event code for
power9 dd1.

Fixes: d89f473ff6f8 ("powerpc/perf: Fix PM_BRU_CMPL event code for power9")
